[Feature Request] Password Test - Password Log Error

Password Test.

Hello, I have an Orange Pi 5B and I use some Android TVs, all of which are still being tested, each with a different problem, which makes me change images all the time.

I made some backups of some programs, but I'm confused with which password I put. The Apps are not being restored, I don't know if it's a problem with the wrong password, or a problem with these Android TV betas...

I don't know if it's on purpose, but the program should tell you if the password is wrong, because I don't know if it's that or a problem with the rom...

Would it be possible to do a test on the PC to decrypt a file to test the password, or connect a log to find out if the password is wrong?

theoretically each app backup could have another password.

So it doesn't help to decrypt some file. Additionally each app uses a different salt (a second key, stored in the properties file). If a simple file with known content would only be encrypted with your password, it would be easy to retrieve the password e.g. with brute force methods.

I would suggest to not use a password at all. Do you have important data to be protected on the TV?
